2015 Balenciaga Black Neoprene Sleeveless Dress with Pearlescent Pin
Description
This chic Balenciaga black dress is from the Fall 2015 collection and was designed by Alexander Wang. Tailored from smooth, bouncy neoprene, it is cut to a relaxed, sleeveless style with a rounded neckline. The silhouette is cocooning and draws on silhouettes innovated by the brand’s namesake founder, updating them with a streetwear feel for the 21st century. The neckline is rounded like that of a t-shirt and it has sleeveless, tank-top style arms. The front of the dress is draped in a fold-over manner and pinned with an elaborate, large brooch pin which slots between two silver-tone rivets. These pins were referenced many times on the runway looks and it is crafted from silver-tone metal and adorned at the top with a large faux pearl surrounded by silver petals - a refined detail that elevates this casual silhouette to Balenciaga-level opulence. This dress is unlined.
In excellent vintage condition with no flaws of any note. The composition label states that it is 96% Polyester, 4% Elastane. It is labelled an XS and the fabric has some stretch on the below measurements.
